2107.18
Admission of will to probate.

The probate court shall
admit a will to probate if it appears from the face of the will, or if the
probate court requires, in its discretion, the testimony of the witnesses to a
will and it appears from that testimony, that the execution of the will
complies with the law in force at the time of the execution of the will in the
jurisdiction in which it was executed,
with the law in force in this state at the time of the death of the testator,
or with the law in force in the jurisdiction in which the testator was
domiciled at the time of the testator's death.

The probate court shall
admit a will to probate when there has been a prior judgment by a probate court
declaring that the will is valid, rendered pursuant to section
2107.084 of the Revised Code, if
the will has not been removed from the possession of the probate judge and has
not been modified or revoked under division (C) or (D) of section
2107.084 of the Revised
Code.
